    Neutered Yesterday, Hiding Today

    One-year-old rescued stray Jelly Bean underwent neutering and microchipping yesterday. He was sent home with one dose of painkiller to be given at 6 last evening. Last night he was very affectionate - but did not come to sleep with me as he normally does. This morning he was hiding under a...

    He came through the surgery with flying colors. He doesn't have FeLV. He weighs 12.25 pounds. He now has a microchip, and received his rabies shot in addition to his first distemper and FeLV shots.

    No, I have not told her. I made the appointment prior to bringing him into my home. I will be certain to mention everything to the staff when I take him in tomorrow morning.

    Jelly Bean quite obviously has a belly full of worms and a right ear infection (it's red and inflamed). I brought him home Friday night, and he's scheduled for surgery tomorrow.

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    He is scheduled for Monday morning. He'll be examined, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The other cool thing is that he's not once tried go get out, though I've gone in and out half a dozen times. My granddaughters just stopped in and had a delightful time playing with him (he is very good...

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    Stray Male - Can He Learn To Be A Good Indoor Cat?

    Yes, and he is doing amazingly well. Acting like he has lived here forever. Playing and climbing on his tree, eating and drinking, snuggling and purring. This is all a very welcome surprise!
